Recchi's Analysis Good On Why Voters Are Fed Up

August 31, 1994

Kudos to Ray Recchi.

His column of Aug. 15 hit the nail on the head. It is a sad but true fact that for years this country has had an overabundance of politicians and a lack of statesmen. Our representatives and senators' main reason for existence is to win the next election. To that end, the two parties, Republican and Democratic alike, continue to bash each other and each other's legislation, ignoring the good of the people.

Most voters are fed up with politics above all. We are disgusted and angry with the politicians' disregard of what is good for the citizens and their focusing on what is good for the political party instead.

Perhaps Republican and Democratic parties alike should be looking over their shoulders _ they might be looking at a third party, a party that represents the people.
